Notebook.

AFTER THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
OF childhood, parents should pay
particular attention to the eyes Of
their children. Measles. scarlet
fever, whooping cough, diphtheria,
chickcn-pox and other "children's
diseases often leave the little ones
with weak eyes. While the disease
continues and The child is in bed, il
should so lie that it will not be COM
PEELED to face the light entering at
a window, or it may be necessary
to have the room darkened. When
it begins to recover ii should not be
furnished with books if 1t is old
enough to read, but should find
amusement III playthings, or in
conversation if older. Care must be
taken not to hurry children off to
school too soon after these diseases.
1t is thought that a great part of
the diseases and imperfections of
the eyes SO prevalent at present re-
suit from injuries received by send
ing children to school after sick
ness. Parents who value the lifelong
happiness of their children soould
remember this hint.

They have some very foolish customs
in Holland, such as that, for instance,
which compcls lady, whether alone on
accompanied By other ladies, to avoid
passing a club house or other place of
rendezvous for gentlemen. If lady
must needs enter n confectionery store,
library, on other place where men natur-
ally 90, and finds gentleman or two
there, she feels compelled to retire as pre-
cipitately es il she had seen case Of
smallpox. Tho nen l,now this, but un-
less thoy have finished their business they
win not retire. Ihe lady retreats in tho

A Transformation Scene of The Great
Mystcry~-I'iowcrs FROM II SisulI,
''ro know exactly what l want will
give force to Che accomplishment of my
mission, said The Yankee in me. And
when the curtain was raised at 4:3O
O'Clock | was snugly seated il front Of
the stage of the diminutive Theatre
Eob""t lIoudin, ready 10 take my first
lesson in pupazzir. What saw was not
ut all what | expected TO sec, and man
carefully dressed in the conventional
swGllowtail and white ci.vat holding a
plaster bust in his hands, Just such a
one as you have seen in every artists
studio, explained chat he would cndeavor
to occupy and to interest the Dudicncc be-
fore the regular performance of II.
Lemercier de NrJville. A small table in
front Of him occupied the stage. What
he did first to arrest The attention of the
audlence was 10 pass the plaster cast of Il
female head to nt,mher of his nearest
neighbors, to confirm the reality of the
impression that it was nothing more or
less tl',r what it represented to the eyes
of all. After the examinations had been
duly regulated to the entire satisfaction
of those who handled the proof, the man
in the ewallowtail placed the plaster
bust on the table waiting for it.
"Wlat he did nest Yves not submitted
to the Judgment Of the people. but
what we saw certainly strained my Curl
osity and wn !crIn-nt rs it had never
been strained before, and judging from
the suppressed e,;clamalions around me,
everybody else present experienced the
same strain. The plaster bust began to
move under the magic influence of the
lrcstiGigitatrur, and gradually the eyes
of the modcl lost their passive stare and
shone with the l,istrc of life. Shadows
of imagination and thought turned the
rigid clay into smiling life and touched
the grayish hue of the cheeks with rosy,
linlp!cd il''sh. Oh, marvel of marvels.
Oh CoXiGrh! have You converted my
imagination into an allcgory, or do be-

rad 20 scc what was impossible to know.
After lie comes death" said the
magician. and we saw the transformation
scene Of i''at great mystery. The beauti-

from youth and beauty to illness and
death, gradually gave place to Il glas,iy,

WaatefNInoss OfThe world.

II have been figuring" said Mr.
Statistic, con the amount of finger
nail that is wasted in this world
every year, and, sir, it is something
enormous. Now, sir, the average
person trims off a twenty-second Of
an inch OF nail from each finger
every week, or three inches q year.
The average OF human life the
world over is 40 years. Look ut
that, sir! Ten feet OF ifnger-nail for
each finger---a round 200 feet from
the 90 fingers and toes. Well, sir
there are 100000, 900 people in this
world,and altogether they waste on
an average, 300'O00,000 feet or ST.
SlS 1-5 miles of 1inger-nail in Il gen

to reach around the earth and still
leave nearly 10000 miles to do our
scratching with. And only think !
it would take less than four gener-
atoms to raise finger-nail enough TO

"antho and Ills Gout.

/ remember to have read in one Of The
poets that all ages have their toys, ard
that prayer books were the toys of very
old age but for nearly week my toys
have been my feet, as | have been laid
up in bed with an attack of the gout, and
a very pretty toy it is. 1t first struck the
left foot, and sweled IL up to u resemb-
lance to what would be the foot Of the
statue OF freedom, had that foot not been
covered by the artist to keep the gout out
of it, Having some familiarity with
this complaint, | Judged by the size Of
the foot that it might 80 down il enc
month and he recognizable to the oldest
iullahitant. 1t Went down, however, or
rather lost the disease, in about i've days,
and then tie pesliy thing crossed right
over to the other foot. Now, want to
know by what means it got over there.
The disease is not catching or ntagious,
as we know, 50 it could not have passed
through the pores of the skin. This lialo
conuudrum has Interested mo for hours
to see chat big, blasted foot on the left,
like q fellow who hes bosn through tho
hands Of a whipping master, and ont q
its pains, now waiting for its iittlo brother
On the right, which has q rcd llnuc!;le,
but otherwise shows no inflammation.

Some Of the Sabbaiarians .ex-
press much apprehension lest Sum
day observance in this country
should become as loose as it Is in
Germany and other portions of
Europe, They intimate that the
German methods Of Sunday observ
anccs are of modern origin, but III
this they are much mistaken. Mar
tin luther was no sticltler for II
rigid sabbath. Before the advent
OF the Puritans in England u large
part Of Sunday, after church, was
devoted to innocent amusements,
and when necessary, to work. An
order of Edward VI encouraged
the farmer to harvest on Sunday,
and declared it great ofiense to
be serupulous and superstitious in
foregoing such operations. Aylmer,
The good Bishop Of London, used to
| play at bowls, or nine pins, after
service on Sunday. and he it was
who replied TO u censurer that the
'5abbath was made for man and
not man for Sabbath" In the
reign Of Elizabeth it was not con
sidered wrong to indulge in pas
times that were not in themselves
harmful. But the puritans chang
ed all that. Wrongful as were
these Sunday customs to the pre-
vaiing notions in this country, il
will not do to attribute the Ger.
man way of spending Sunday to
the progress of modern infidelity.
Sunday is observed in Germany
and other portions Of the Continent
Of Europe as it was in the mos;
religious time. Prince Dismark
who is a good christian, has strong
~ expressed his repugnance to the
English Sunday Observance, which
is so different from that TO which
the Germans and nearly olI other
people in Continental Europe are
accustomed. Sunday customs,
then, are not a matter OF p;ety, but
vary with nationality and race.

proud Of them, and when they cams to .
presen,able age be insisted on . friend
calling to see them. The friend agreed,
and named the day. The twins yer,
dressed In their best, put side by aide IN
an armchair. and awaited inspection.
Now, the friend had been lunehing rs,h-
or heavily, and drinking rather freely.
and. consequently, bis vision Was not as
perfect ~ Il ought to have been. How
ever. he went to admire the twins. and
Vas ushered into the room where they
were.
"Ther," exclaimed the proud father.
